If we want capitalism to work at its best, the masses of decision makers that power the invisible hand require as much information as possible. I'm definitely not a fan of government using politics to obfuscate economic details of a tax, but I am also very much not a fan of captive market makers, like Apple, Google, or Visa, being able to unilaterally and forcibly bury this information.
Prohibiting retailers from offering a different cash price (Visa/MC) or preventing app owners from charging 30% more than they do on their own website to cover the marketplace costs (or preventing them from allowing the app to funnel them elsewhere for subscriptions that span much farther than the app alone) are all the dark, informationless side of capitalism.
